That's the reason I'd rather be a little catfish,so I could swim way down in the seaI would have many-some of these women,settin' out a line for meSettin' out a line for me, a line for me

You know, I went to the church house,and they called on me to prayI got down on my knees but I didn't,have no word to sayNot a word to say, word to say

That's the reason I'd rather be a little catfishSo I could swim way down in the seaI would have somebody, somebody,settin' out a line for meSettin' out a line for me, a line for me

I don't wanna be no tadpole,and I don't wanna be no bullfrogAnd if I can't be a catfish,I won't swim at allI won't swim at all, swim at allTomado de AlbumCancionYLetra.comThat's the reason I want to be a little catfish,so I could swim way down in the seaI would have these good-lookin' women,settin' out a hook for meSettin' out a hook for me, hook for me
